        Romulus'es great armour settled and the cooling fans whirred to
life. HIs faithfull bodygaurd stood next to him, exchanging reassuring
glances to eachother before the battle.
 
"6 to beam down Marine, Glory to the Emporer" he raised his
chainfist to about mid-level.

"The Emporer be praised ,Sir" the Techmarine recited the litany of
safe teleportation and typed coorinates into the terminal.

Sergeant Romulus took one last look at his men. . 
"Henrikson ? what in the holy name are you doing ?"

Brother Henrikson stood unsteadily and bit his lip
"Ummm, Sir, may i be excused to, well, relieve myself ?"

Romulus was dumbfounded

"What the HELL are you talking about ! were in the middle of a war
here, im sure you can hold it in untill the victory celebration."

Henrikson danced about in his heavy tactical armour
"I dont think it can wait Sir"

Romulus sighed
"...oh bloody hell.." Romulus muttered then recited a small prayer 
that he would not be to late to the battle.

"Dismissed Brother, but i give you five minutes, if youre not
finished by that time we will just have to leave without you"

Henrikson grinned largely. "Thank you sir !" 
He then rushed down the hulks corridor, pistons steaming and gears
winding.
 
Sargeant Romulus tapped his foot impatiently and a soldier
near the back held up his hand.

"Oh, not you too. . ."
